Remote and ineffectual shill

That dared attack my president

With that poor weapon, half-impelled,

Unlearnt, unsteady, hardly held,

Unworthy for a tilt with men—

Your quavering and corroded pen;

Shill poor at Bed and worse at Table,

Shill pinched, shill starved, shill miserable;

Shill stuttering, shill with roving eyes,

Shill nervous, shill of crudities;

Shill clerical, shill ordinary,

Shill self-absorbed and solitary;

Shill here-and-there, shill epileptic;

Shill puffed and empty, shill dyspeptic;

Shill middle-class, shill sycophantic,

Shill dull, shill brutish, shill pedantic;

Shill hypocritical, shill bad,

Shill furtive, shill three-quarters mad;

Shill (since a man must make an end),

Shill that shall never be my friend.

Non-linear or Information war uses subversion tactics to gradually degrade the whole information infrastructure, from popular entertainment to textbooks and historical records.

Historical frauds are legitimized, self-destructive behaviors are promoted as fashionable, mental illnesses and perversions like pedophilia are induced by repeated suggestion and normalized by stages by seditious, subverted “Mockingbird” news and entertainment industry. Gradually, over decades, reduce our public vocabulary, promote social division, emphasize inequities, fan flames of old grievances and use false flag terrorism to foster or rekindle resentments.

By falsifying historical records satanic cultists produce evidence to support a shameful, cult-created US history that never happened. Destroying the story of a nation destroys that nation; values and principles for which men died for are discarded with astroturfed support, endorsed by meaningless elections with no ID required votes. The nation falls apart.

Information warfare destroys people and countries from within. By controlling the minds of citizens, by exploiting conditioned responses with prepared information packages targeted individuals or nations can be (and have been) brought to take ANY specified action (including 'genocide') voluntarily. It doesn’t have to be that way, but it is that way.

From the NYT

August 21, 1988

A Federal jury in Manhattan ruled yesterday that the Hunt brothers of Dallas conspired with a group of other investors in a racketeering scheme to corner the world silver market in 1979 and 1980.

The three flamboyant Hunt brothers and other defendants were ordered to pay more than $130 million in damages to Minpeco S.A., a commodities concern owned by the Government of Peru.

The sweeping decision came after six months of testimony in a civil suit brought by Minpeco, which said it lost $151 million because it invested in silver during the period when the market was being manipulated by the Hunts. Defendants Linked to Silver Shifts

Although other lawsuits are pending, the ruling yesterday before Judge Morris E. Lasker of Federal District Court was the first courtroom decision that found the Hunts responsible for wild gyrations in the price of silver, from $9 an ounce in September 1979 to $50 an ounce in January 1980 and back to $10 an ounce two months later.

The ruling yesterday seemed certain to aggravate the tangled financial difficulties of the Hunt brothers - Nelson Bunker, William Herbert and Lamar. They head a Texas family of brash business gamblers that not long ago ranked among the wealthiest in the nation. In recent years, however, their empire has suffered serious setbacks - particularly in oil and real estate - that have put the foundation that runs many of the family businesses into bankruptcy.

The Hunts looked grim as they left the court after the verdict was read shortly before noon. All three, who had testified in the trial and who sat impassively through six days of intense, suspenseful jury deliberations, declined to answer questions from reporters.

The Hunts' lawyer, Paul J. Curran, of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, said he disagreed with the verdict. He said he planned to ask Judge Lasker to reduce the damage award as a first step in a process that may lead to an appeal.

Also found liable were Mahmoud Fustock, a businessman and the brother-in-law of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, and the International Metals Investment Company, a Bermuda corporation owned by Bunker Hunt, Herbert Hunt and two Saudis, Mohammed Aboud al-Amoudi and Ali bin Mussalem. Basis of Verdict

In reaching its verdict, the jury found that the Hunts played a major role in a financial boom and bust that touched the lives of millions. While many wealthy people invested heavily in silver futures contracts in 1979 and 1980, others were affected by a sharp runup in the cost of products that contain silver, including photographic film and jewelry.

Experts say one reason the price of silver collapsed in early 1980 was because so many people were attempting to sell silverware, jewelry and other items containing silver at prices that had shot up to over $40 an ounce. Once a glut developed, prices of bullion and futures contracts fell in a panicking market.

Judge Lasker praised the jury and lawyers on both sides for their handling of highly complex testimony, which produced 16,000 pages of transcripts. This has been an epic experience, he said Judge Lasker is also presiding over two large class-action suits against the Hunts filed by others who had invested in silver in 1979. Several suits have been filed elsewhere in the country.

Like Minpeco, many who have sued the Hunts assert that they lost money because they had short positions in futures contracts in 1979. By holding a short position, an investor agrees to sell silver he does not yet own at a specified price and on a specified date, hoping that the price will decline in the interim. If the price increases, as it did dramatically in 1979, investors can suffer large losses.

Also pending against the Hunts is an administrative proceeding initiated in 1985 by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission in Washington.

After the verdict yesterday, lawyers for Minpeco said representatives of the Hunts had offered in May to pay the Peruvian company $20 million to settle out of court, but that the offer had been refused.

Minpeco had faith in the legal system of this country and their persistence paid off, said Mark Cymrot, a lawyer for the Peruvian company.

He dismissed questions about the ability of the Hunts to pay the damage award, saying, These are wealthy men and we should be able to collect.

Because of depressed conditions in the Texas real-estate market, the oil business and the Texas economy, the Hunt family foundation is under court protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. But the assets held separately by the three brothers are not under court protection.

Also, a major part of the damages could be paid by other defendants in the case, experts said. The court has not specified how liability will be shared among the defendants, only that the damages must be paid.

Throughout the trial, the Hunt brothers maintained that no conspiracy had taken place and that the frequent and large purchases of silver bullion and silver futures contracts they made in 1979 and early 1980 had not improperly influenced the market.

Indeed, when the price of silver collapsed in early 1980, the Hunts suffered heavy losses, by some estimates more than $2 billion.

They said events far beyond their control, including the seizure of the American Embassy in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, had made investors jittery, and therefore enhanced the value of silver and other precious metals, which tend to go up in price in times of political unrest. Firms Agree to Pay Damages

But lawyers for Minpeco, who said they spent five years and traveled the world to develop their case, persuaded the jury that the Hunts and the other defendants had had frequent meetings, talked many times over the phone and coordinated their orders of silver in a way that drove up prices.

Minpeco purchased its silver contracts and took its short position in early 1979, anticipating that the price would go down. Court records showed that the company made the investment on the advice of E. F. Hutton & Company and Merrill Lynch & Company, two of the largest American brokerage firms.

The two firms are among six investment companies that agreed before the trial began to pay $64.7 million in damages to the Peruvian company.

The two firms are among six investment companies that agreed before the trial began to pay $64.7 million in damages to the Peruvian company.

When they began their deliberations on Monday, the jury was given a list of 22 questions to be answered that covered the wide range of charges facing the Hunts, and five other questions concerning the amount of damages to be assessed.

Because this was a civil suit, the jurors were instructed that to determine guilt, they needed to find only a preponderance of evidence and not evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, as must be found in criminal cases.

On Wednesday afternoon the jury sent a note to Judge Lasker, which he read in court, saying the only question still under consideration dealt with the amount of damages to be assessed. The note made clear that the jury had ruled the Hunts liable on at least one of the charges, and seemed to suggest that a final determination of damages was at hand. Decision on Damages

But as suspense grew, the jury continued deliberating all day Thursday and all day Friday. It declined a request by the judge to continue its work Friday night, but said it would return yesterday morning.

Yesterday, in an announcement that prompted muted groans of anxiety among lawyers on both sides, the jury sent out a note telling Judge Lasker it was unable to reach a unanimous decision.

In response, the judge instructed the jury to return to the courtroom and read the decisions they had made on all 22 questions concerning the charges against the Hunts. In rapid succession, the jury foreman read yes to all the questions that pertained to whether the Hunts had been part of a conspiracy, had manipulated the silver market, had violated Sherman anti-trust regulations, had monopolized the silver market, had committed fraud and had committed racketeering through the use of mail and wire communications to advance a conspiracy.

The jury ruled that Lamar Hunt had not committed racketeering but was liable on all other charges; his two brothers were found liable on all counts, including racketeering.

After the verdicts were read, the lawyers were called into Judge Lasker's chambers for a meeting that some in the court speculated might lead to an agreement on the damages. However, at 1:30, under the urging of the judge, the jury returned to its their private deliberations, emerging an hour later with a decision on the damages.

Because the damages are difficult to compute, the lawyers differed on how much will ultimately be paid. Minpeco's lawyers said it would be $134 million, while the Hunts' lawyers put it at $132.6 million.
